About this map

Jekyll Island State Park dominates this coastal survey, illustrating the island's mid-1990s character as a managed recreational and historic landscape. The interior is marked by established infrastructure like the Golf Course and Jekyll Island Airport, alongside spiritual landmarks such as United Ch and Jekyll Chapel. For those tracing local heritage, the Du Bignon Cem provides a tangible link to the island's private ownership era before it became a public park.

The surrounding geography is defined by a complex network of tidal waters, including the Brunswick River to the north and St Andrew Sound to the south. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the marshlands between the main island and the mainland, navigating past features like Cedar Hammock and Jointer Island. Along the eastern shore, Beachview Drive follows the Atlantic Ocean coastline, while the western side is characterized by the winding Latham River and Jointer Creek, highlighting the island's delicate balance of maritime forest and salt marsh.
